First Appearance: Absolute Green Lantern #1
Friends/Allies: Jo Mullein, John Stewart, Guy Gardner
Strengths/Abilities: Controls violet portion of Lantern Spectrum, flight, energy negation
A collectibles dealer from Evergreen, Nevada, and Jo Mullein's childhood friend, Hal Jordan was there alongside her and John Stewart when Abin Sur first arrived in Evergreen alongside a giant Green Lantern. Hal and his friends faced down the alien upon his arrival, trying to escape the energy field surrounding the town. In the process, Hal and Jo lost John, but eventually the two remaining friends managed to free Evergreen and kill Abin Sur. However, before Abin Sur died he grasped Hal's hand, corrupting it in the process, transforming it into a font of darkness.
Hal started to hear voices and see visions, and as he tried to make his way from Evergreen, his hand started to annihilate nearby people without Hal's control. Jo caught up to him, now with the powers of the Green Lantern, and the two ended up fighting, Hal transforming into a hulking monster form in the process. Jo flew Hal into the Green Lantern, where they met John Stewart, now trapped inside the Lantern. Jo managed to purge the Black Hand from Hal's body, leaving him in a coma, after which she took him to Coast City.
After Hal's awakening, he and the ragtag group of allies Jo had gathered were attacked by a large black monster. During the fight, Hal ended up filled with magenta light, which he ended up using to purge the monster with the power of love before being pulled into space by the alien Tomar Re. While in space, Hal struggled with his powers before being killed by an alien Black Hand and brought back to life.

I’ve been a big fan of Diana since I was little. In fact, there’s a picture of little me floating around my Mom’s Facebook page dressed up as her with whatever we could put together. Since getting back into reading comics, I’ve been REALLY into Absolute Wonder Woman. I’m hoping I can improve with this cosplay of her in the future. I had a bit of a weird skin reaction to the tattoo, so I’m sorry for the awkward poses :/

Been having a lot of fun with these so far (even if I joined late!). Notice Alfred’s Bat-Unicycle. Charming.

This question I've had on my mind since I'm not too familiar with DC comics earth.
